Banta is an Echo Park-based indie pop sextet whose songs embody so much of the smooth pop folk-rock swing of L.A. Comprised of Sharaya Mikael (vocals/guitar), Kristin Hardin (vocals), Jon Marcu (drums), Scott Clear (lead guitar), Steve Oh Grohne (bass) and Alathea Reece (keys), Banta is a fairly new band but songs such as “Three Feet From Gold” and “Someday” filter their classic rock influences exceptionally well. There’s both charm and a fierceness in their songs that will have you grooving long after listening. @BantaTheBand

Heaps n Heaps is a band of friends making music under the sun, beneath the streets, beside the moon of Los Angeles and sometimes beyond. @heapsnheaps

Queen Caveat is a hard-hitting four-piece band from L.A. that has been quick to turn the heads of rock fans on the strength of their infectious anthems, unrivaled musicianship and sometimes downright dangerous stage show. @QueenCaveat
